The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) is set to bring 35 officials on deputation, drawing from both retired officers and serving staff across various government departments. The appointments will be made in the planning, project, general administration, and computer sections. This hiring initiative comes as the Authority anticipates a significant rise in workload with the upcoming airport scheduled to begin commercial operations from June 15.
Recruitment Details
Officials stated that YEIDA will appoint both retired and serving government officers to strengthen its workforce. The vacancies include seven posts for assistant manager (civil), two assistant managers (electrical and mechanical), one general manager (planning), one deputy general manager (planning), two senior draftsmen, two draftsmen, one deputy general manager (administration), two programmers, two data entry operators, five assistants, and 10 junior assistants. Additional details and the application form will be available on the official YEIDA website.
Eligibility Criteria
For retired personnel, the age should be less than 64 years. In the case of deputation, the applicant must have at least five years of service remaining. Applicants must have an excellent service record and be physically fit. At the time of selection, a medical fitness certificate duly verified by the chief medical officer must be submitted.
Current Workforce and Future Needs
YEIDA currently has 10 senior officials, including the CEO, three additional CEOs, one officer on special duty, one general manager, one deputy general manager, and a finance officer. The Yamuna Expressway region is expected to witness a sharp rise in administrative, planning, and infrastructure-related activities once the airport becomes operational. The Authority is already overseeing numerous industrial plots, ongoing construction projects, and new investments in the airport area.
Progress So Far
To date, the Authority has allotted 3,113 industrial plots, of which 2,363 lease deeds have been conducted and 1,787 allottees have taken possession. YEIDA has sanctioned 716 maps, and 314 buildings are under construction. Additionally, 60 industrial units have been completed, while 33 units are functional and registered under the Factories Act.
Anticipated Growth
With industrial, residential, and commercial development accelerating around the upcoming airport, the workload related to project execution, land management, approvals, planning, and public services is set to increase significantly. The recruitment drive aims to ensure adequate manpower to manage these expanding responsibilities and support the region’s rapid growth, officials said.
